The Generals Who Are Now Running Iran
Contenders for next UN secretary-general made their case this week for a United Nations more invested in peace, but avoided taking positions that could antagonize the member states who will choose the world body’s next chief. Chile’s Michelle Bachelet, Argentina’s Rafael Grossi, Costa Rica’s Rebeca Grynspan and Senegal’s Macky Sall are all hoping to succeed Antonio Guterres on January 1, 2027, when his second five-year term ends. Each candidate spent three hours this week answering wide-ranging questions from the 193 member states and representatives of civil society.

EU leaders will welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday in Cyprus to celebrate the release of a 90-billion-euro ($105 billion) loan for Kyiv after a prolonged deadlock. Preliminary approval for the badly needed money came on Wednesday but a definitive sign-off is expected by Thursday, before European Union leaders hold talks with Zelensky in Cyprus’s Ayia Napa marina. The funds were blocked after a bitter row broke out between Hungary’s nationalist premier Viktor Orban and Zelensky.
